Man hospitalised after breaking penis during ‘world’s most dangerous sex position’

Man hospitalised after breaking penis during ‘world’s most dangerous sex position’

The man knew something was wrong when he suddenly heard a 'loud cracking sound'

Spare a thought for the man who ended up in hospital after trying the 'world's most dangerous sex position' only to see it go horribly wrong after he heard a 'loud cracking sound'.

He ended up having to undergo emergency surgery after being left with something known as an 'eggplant' phallus, and it looks as unpleasant as it sounds.

He was in the middle of having sex in a position known to carry a high risk of breaking the penis, when he heard the cracking sound and had to stop.

After the 37-year-old man from Indonesia heard his penis cracking loudly, he suddenly felt lots of pain (the phrase 'no s**t, Sherlock' comes to mind) and his erection was immediately gone.

Unable to pee and with blood coming out of the end of his thoroughly whacked tally whacker, he decided that he really needed to be in a hospital and when he got there, doctors realised that something else had happened to it on the way.

Upon examination, they found that the broken penis now looked quite like an eggplant all the way down, essentially rendering the man's manhood a flaccid mass of purple pain.

Doctors discovered that the man had suffered from a 'wide and deep' bilateral rupture, which sounds incredibly unpleasant.

The 37-year-old was immediately put in for surgery and after three days, he was able to take off his bandages, and a month later he had largely recovered, though perhaps next time he'll be choosing a safer position.

As for the position in question which is so dangerous, it's the 'reverse cowgirl', where the woman is on top and facing away from her partner.

TikTok doc Karan Raj has said that scientifically it's the most dangerous sex position you can try as it accounts for fully half of all 'penile fractures'.

"If there is any erratic thrusting or if the movements of the two parties are not in sync, it could lead to the male jabberwocky slipping out and be crushed by the female pubic bone." he explained.

"Despite being boneless, penises can break. A penile fracture is actually a tear in the tunica albuginea. This is actually a rubbery sheath of tissue that allows the penis to enlarge during an erection."

"You've been warned. Overenthusiastic sex can lead to your penis looking like an aubergine."

An aubergine and an eggplant are the same thing, so unless you want to run the risk of your Willy Wonka becoming entirely purple, painfully swollen and in dire need of emergency surgery then perhaps you'd prefer to try a different position with your partner.
